a people of our peculiar situation
should, in our opinion, be led by the
ministry, and we believe if left to
them some years yet, We would be
safely led to prosperity, politically,
socially, materially, and spiritually.
1t is gratifying to see the great i'm
provement in the colorod ministry in
all churches. The Presbyterian Synod,
held here last week, gives evidence Of
the work being done in that line. A
few weeks ago the Baptist Association
was held here and made for itself a
record that no body of men need be
ashamed of. Next week one branch
of the Methodist Church will hold
meeting in Concord. In that body
will be some of the ablest men of the

are men well-known in the English
speaking world. These are the kind
of men to be looked up to as leaders
of race just emerging from slavery
into liberty.
We hold that preachers should as
sumo leadership in all moral questions,
and that they have as much right to
lead in political matters as any one
else. While we believe in the sepa-
ration Of Church and State, yet
churchmen should control one as well
as the other, for "when the wicked
rule the people mourn. =

OUR LEADERS.

We would not name any one par
tieular class or profession of men as
leaders Of cur race. Each community
has Its own leader or leaders. In one
community the preacher is looked up
to by our people as their guide. In
another the school teacher is the head
man, and in another the lawyer, or
possibly some scheming politician.
Wherever leadership is reposed, the
first prerequisite is honesty of pur-
pose The next is sufficient intelli-
genee to carry out the proper plans
when laid.
The people Of North Carolina have
no recognized leader. We have a
number Of able, true and patriotic
men, but envy in the hearts of dema-
gOgues have caused our best men TO
be injured with rhe masses. The
motives Of great and good men like
Rev J. c. Price have been questioned
by ill-designed men, and much good
which might be done our race is pre-
vented by men who have only intelli-
genee enough to do mischief. Let us
stop moment and ask who does real
ly lead our people. Ask ourselves
what have they done, what have they
tried to do, and what is their capacity

THE CITY ELECTION.

The election last Monday on the
bonds was the quietest ever held in
in the city Very little interest was
taken apparently, yet it was seen that
the opposition were working quietly.
trying to keep men from voting so a
majority vote would not be cast for
it. A sufficient number of votes
were cast though, to secure the
issuing of the bonds. As we said
before. We expect the board of alder
men TO make the best of the bonds.
He believe they viii sell them for
as much as they can get and it is
understood they will get par for them.
1t is strange how some men will
mislead the people, and yet men still
follow them and go at their bidding.
We are glad to see enough of the
eOlored men voted to carry the bonds.
Some of the colored men who live by
the city's money found it necessary to
disregard the advice of some of their
old leaders, for they saw they were
led wrong. It is we'll always to
keep an eye on men who want to lead
and are swayed by the dollar, regard
less of the interests of their fellow
men.
Another campaign will soon be
upon us, one in which there is politics
and it is expected the majority of
cOlOred men viii be together; but
men who have no principle and are
bought at one time to deceive their
people and lead them against their
best interests, should be watched at
all times.
The vote by wards was as follows /:

ask for share of their patronage
through their own organ? The colored
people spend not less than $1,000
a week here for clothing, groceries,

urges its readers to patronize the
stores that advertise with us. Several
of our best houses have found it ex-

The MESSENGER reaches large
class of people who spend much money

MURPHY.
You have read the Bible please
read it again, especially the first,
second, third and fourth chapters of
Genesis. IF it can be established as
true, and | am satisfied it can be,
that Eden proper, (if there was such
special spot) did not include all the
district inhabited and cultivated by
the descendants of Adam and Eve at
the time Cain was driven from the old
family circle, then great deal Of the
history of this doubtful period will
have been revealed and an important
point will have been gained
God said to Cain: Now art thou
cursed from the earth, which has
opened her mouth to receive thy
brothers blood from thy hand. y
Cain was "cursed" by the voice of
his brothers blood, which called for
vengeance, or some other like rotribu-
ton upon the murderer. God did
not Course" Cain, but simply told
him the nature of the guilt which
rested upon him for his wicked act.
He was "cursed fiom tie earth not
from above.
And to-day the blood of the inno-
cent all over the land, and in every
country even to the martyrs under
the altar is crying to God fer ven
geance.
Again, the Lord said to Adam,
''Be fruitful, and multiply, rcplenish
the earth, +" (thatis, with his ofspring)
'and subdue it." (clear and cultivate
it, .'and have dominion over the fish
Of the sea, and over the fowls Of the
air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth" ''And God
said, Behold | have given you every
herb bearing seed which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree
yielding seed ; to you it shall be for
meat"
Planting and cultivation were to be
the employment of man if not. why
all this preparation? this power Of
termination in seeds The necessity
for rain, and the want Of imam to till
the ground ?
Remember all tie transactions took
place before Adam aud Eve we're
driven from Eden There were two
trees, the fruit Of which they were
forbidden to cat, bit there we're many

others, pleasant to the eyes aud good
for food Mind you the garden in
which Adam was placed was in the
eastern part eastward in'') of Eden.
In Eden was the source of river,
which went out to water the garden,
plainly showing that irrigation was
necessary and well-known This river
branched into four distinct streams,
in order that the cultivated districts
might be supplied with rain, or rather
irrigation.
Gold mining, the use Of precious
stones, were practiced, plainly show
ing that what the sacred historian re-
corded was the customs of the people
We know that the history of man
in Eden and its immediate surround
ings and events is certainly different
from every other part of the Bible
record. A gloomy cloud covered the
whole just as soon as the link Of har-
mony was broken. Can't any one
who reads the Bible with both eyes
sec this plainly?
You also notice blooming springs,
pleasant summers, and golden autumn
must have smiled upon Adam and his
people before his "fall," or how
could he draw comparison between
an abundant harvest and one choked
by thorns and thistles, and "cursed"
with barrenness and sterility? Adam
would not have known whether the
earth was blasted or not il he had
waited till after the "curse'' to plant
and reap According TO Milton,
Adam had sufficient time to mediate
on the works of his maker and become
Injured to the happiness he must have
enjoyed in being placed in such a
peaceable home, and not as some
would have it, that he was driven out
Of Paradise before he was fully dry.
Also, you see, that the earth was sup
piled with everything man could pos
sibly need before Adam was put in
the garden and commanded to dress
and keep it.
These views, if correct, and their
correctness cannot be questioned,
bring US readily to the conclusion that
Adam had other descendants than
those named in the Bible, and thus
the increase thereof enabled Cain TO
take to himself wife without the
least difficulty. Late researches in
Bible lands show the location Of Nod
was ON the east of Eden, and doubt
less included in the garden and fields
in which Adam, Cain and Abel, his
two sons, dwclt Many ask, "If
Adam had children, why are they not
named 2" We ask, Why are not the
names Of those given who were born
after Seth 7? Read again. Then
again we are asked: If Adam had sons
and daughters before the ''fall," were
they rockoned as sinners afterward !?
We answer, they may have been, or
they may not have been for none of
the race at this time has any concop-
ton of Adams feelings when God
adjudged him guilty, and yet all are
called sinners. They sin in different
way from Adam, yet this is not say
ing his children did so. We have
not attempted to give the name of this
ancient ancestors, but to show you it
is reasonable from Scripture to sup
pose that the human family had sufi-
GENTLY increased up to the time of
Cain S exile to be spread over all the
surrounding country or countries.
Hence this mystery is not any greater
than many Others recorded in and out
of the Bible.
